WRITTEN DIRECT TESTIMONY OF
JANICE DE FREITAS
(CBC - RIGHTS ADMINISTRATION)
2004—2005 Cable Royalty Distribution Proceeding Docket No. 2007-03 CRB CD 2004-2005
1. Introduction
I am Manager of Rights Administration for the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/Radio-Canada (CBC/Radio-Canada) at the Head Office in Ottawa. I have worked for the CBC since 1980. For the last 15 years, I have served as Chairman of the Canadian Claimants Group (CCG). Before assuming my current position, I spent nine years in CBC’s television program distribution department eventually managing the Educational Sales unit. Those responsibilities called for me to be familiar with the English television network’s programming, and rights administration.
CBC/Radio-Canada is Canada’s national public broadcaster, and one of its largest and most important cultural institutions. It was created by an Act of Parliament in 1936, beginning with Radio. Bilingual television services were launched in 1952. CBC/Radio-Canada is licensed and regulated by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC)1. CBC/Radio-Canada employs approximately 9,930 Canadians in 27 regional offices across the country. CBC programming is provided on multiple platforms: television (both traditional over-the-air and cable networks), radio, the Internet, satellite radio, digital audio and a recording label. Through this array of activities, CBC/Radio-Canada delivers content in English, French, and eight aboriginal languages. In addition to this, programming is available in seven other languages including Spanish, Russian and Mandarin on both Radio Canada International, and Web-based www.rciviva.ca, a radio service for recent and aspiring immigrants to Canada.
1 The CRTC is an independent authority in charge of regulating and supervising Canadian broadcasting and telecommunications, equivalent to the FCC.
CBC/Radio-Canada’s conventional broadcast stations are located in Canadian cities across the nation, many in near proximity to the United States. Due to this, CBC and other Canadian television stations are long-established components of both the over-the-air and cable television markets along the U.S.-Canada border. The CBC has been a participant in these cable royalty proceedings since their very inception and is the founding member of the Canadian Claimants Group. The CBC, through it Rights Administration Department, continues to head the Canadian Claimants Group. One of my primary responsibilities for the last 18 years has been supervision and administration of responsibilities related to the U.S. cable retransmission claims of Canadians. Most recently this has included preparing this direct case.
Today, I am appearing in several capacities:
• As Chairman of the CCG, I am here to provide an overview of our claim, to introduce our other witnesses, and to provide background information on the eclectic group of producers, distributors and broadcasters who are members of the Group.
• As an employee of the CBC/Radio-Canada I will provide some background information and generally describe CBC/Radio- Canada’s conventional television networks and the programming they broadcast because most of the Canadian distant signals retransmitted in the US are CBC/Radio-Canada English or French stations.
• Finally, I will sponsor cable carriage and royalty data that we have obtained from Cable Data Corporation that reflects the increase in carriage and royalties paid by Form 3 cable systems for the distant retransmission of Canadian television stations.
2. Overview of Our Claim
The Phase I claim of the Canadian Claimants Group encompasses the programming shown on all distant Canadian television signals, excluding that claimed by U.S. groups. The members of the CCG all have programming that was carried on Canadian signals retransmitted in the U.S. by Form 3 cable systems during 2004 through 2005. The Canadian signals retransmitted in these
2
years are listed below in Table 1 along with their network affiliations and their language of broadcast:
Table 1 Canadian Signals Carried by Form 3 Systems on a Distant Basis in 2004 through 2005

It is important to note that Canadian signals may only be retransmitted within the compulsory zone, a specific geographic region of the United States. This is illustrated on page one of Exhibit CDN-1-A. The remaining four pages of Exhibit CDN-1-A are maps that illustrate where these distant Canadian signals were retransmitted in the United States. These maps show each Canadian station that was retransmitted by a Form 3 cable system during 2004
3
and 2005, identifying the state(s) in which they were retransmitted as reported on the systems’ Statements of Account.
3. Our Witnesses
In preparing this direct case, we have once again focused on demonstrating the relative value to cable operators of the different types of programming broadcast on Canadian distant signals. We conducted two annual surveys of cable operators who carried distant Canadian signals in 2004 and 2005. Professor Debra Ringold will present the results of those studies, which remain consistent with past results. The U.S. cable operators that carry distant Canadian signals attribute nearly 60% of the value of the Canadian signals to the Canadian programming on those stations and the remainder to the programming claimed by Joint Sports and Program Suppliers.
To provide first hand exposure to Canadian television we will present two witnesses who represent different genres of programs, Alison Smith and Joan Fisher. Alison Smith is a CBC news correspondent currently based in Washington, D.C. She is a professional journalist who has worked with CBC for over 30 years and served in numerous capacities. She is appearing to provide an overview of the CBC’s network news operations. Joan Fisher is Legal Counsel for Decode, one of our CCG program suppliers. Decode is an innovative, sought after producer of live action and animation series for many age ranges, from preschoolers to teens. Their productions have been successful at home in Canada and around the world.
4. Our Members
I am sponsoring information I collected that identifies and describes members of the Canadian Claimants Group. Attached to my testimony as Exhibit CDN-1-B are lists of the Canadian Claimant Group members for 2004 and 2005. Exhibit CDN-1-C provides an alphabetical collection of profiles describing each member. The Canadian Claimants Group is comprised of the CBC, private Canadian broadcasters, and affiliated broadcast stations as well as Canadian film and television producers and distributors.
Our members have had considerable success licensing their programming in the U.S. and elsewhere. This is an indication that Canadian programming is valued and popular in the United States and internationally
4
Exhibit CDN-1-D is an informal sample of the numerous Canadian properties licensed to U.S. television services by some of our members. I gathered this data to illustrate the demand for Canadian programming in the U.S. cable and broadcast marketplaces. The exhibit shows a broad range of clients in the U.S. It is evident from the list that cable networks are significant clients for Canadian producers. We believe this is important evidence of the appeal of Canadian television programming to U.S. cable operators, since they are the relevant marketplace for both cable network programming and distant signal programming.
Our members also supplied information about awards they received for their programs and sample descriptive brochures.2 Exhibit CDN-1- E reports on some of the awards won by Canadian Claimants. Additional award information is included with the testimony of our other witnesses.
5. The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation/Radio-Canada
As I noted in the introductory paragraphs of this testimony, I would like to provide some background and general information about the Canadian call- signs that are most often retransmitted as distant signals in the United States. They are CBC/Radio-Canada’s English and French network stations, referred to as CBC Television and Télévision de Radio-Canada respectively. Back in the 1930s the CBC was created largely in response to concerns that Canadian culture would be drowned by the flood of American broadcasts if a Canadian service was not established. Our mandate, as laid out in Canada’s 1991 Broadcasting Act, states that:
[T]he Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, as the national public broadcaster, should provide radio and television services incorporating a wide range of programming that informs, enlightens and entertains;
[T]he programming provided by the Corporation should:
i. be predominantly and distinctively Canadian,
2 For this proceeding, we have omitted our usual collection of promotional material (program descriptions) received from our members.
5
ii. reflect Canada and its regions to national and regional audiences, while serving the special needs of those regions,
iii. actively contribute to the flow and exchange of cultural expression,
iv. be in English and in French, reflecting the different needs and circumstances of each official language community, including the particular needs and circumstances of English and French linguistic minorities,
v. strive to be of equivalent quality in English and French,
vi. contribute to shared national consciousness and identity,
vii. be made available throughout Canada by the most appropriate and efficient means and as resources become available for the purpose, and
viii. reflect the multicultural and multiracial nature of Canada.
A. CBC Television (English Language)
In 2004 through 2005, the English network consisted of 27 stations, from coast to coast. Fifteen of these stations were owned and operated by CBC and 12 were affiliates. Affiliates are privately owned stations that carry a requisite number of hours of CBC Television programming. Page one of Exhibit CDN-1-F is a list of CBC Television Network Owned and Operated and Affiliated Stations. Before we moved to a 24-hour broadcast day in October 2006, daily broadcast hours varied across locations. CBC Television broadcasts seven days a week, typically from 6:00 a.m. to 1:00 or 2:00 am. Special events such as live Olympics coverage sometimes extended the broadcast day considerably. Together, CBC Television stations and affiliates reach 99% of the Canadian population.
CBC Television programs are made in Canada or acquired from other countries. Exhibit CDN-1-G contains CBC Television broadcast schedules for the 2003/2004, 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 television seasons. We have “shaded” some blocks on the grids to indicate when some or the entire time slot contains a program claimed by an American group. The schedules illustrate
6
that few of our programs are American. As a general rule, a large majority of the programming on CBC Television signals falls within the claim of the Canadian Claimants Group.
CBC Television’s broadcasting services were conceived with the need to be distinct from American services and are by mandate, predominantly and distinctively Canadian. A direct consequence of this is a schedule that consistently offers American viewers a unique programming alternative. This includes:
• Original and distinctive dramas and comedies that CBC produces, co-produces, develops or licenses.
• Sports programs not ordinarily available on conventional television in the United States, such as amateur international sport competitions (these often involve American athletes), soccer, curling, show jumping and Canadian football.
• Hockey, tennis, golf, baseball games and events that don’t feature American teams. (CBC sports broadcasts generally include not only the event, but also popular commentary segments such as Hockey Night in Canada’s Coaches’ Corner featuring Don Cherry and Ron McLean.)
• Canadian children’s programming that is commercial-free and non-violent.
• Featured prime-time broadcasts of a diverse offering of arts and cultural programming, such as ballet, operas, and theatrical performances, not generally seen on U.S. commercial television.
• News and current affairs programs reporting on Canada and the world from a Canadian perspective. Not only is the perspective novel, it is beneficial in that it informs Americans of events in Canada that are of interest to many, particularly those living along the Canadian border. (Correspondent Alison Smith will present separate testimony on CBC’s extensive and experienced news programming service.)
• Multiple long-running, award-winning documentary series as well as featured long-form in-depth documentaries.
7
Something else to note is that 100% of the CBC Television network is closed-captioned and an ever-increasing number of programs are broadcast with “described video.”3
In the two years covered by these proceedings there were numerous special programming events. These included the broadcast of:
• High quality contemporary drama and entertainment found nowhere else in North America, such as H2O, Sex Traffic, North of 60: Distant Drumming, and This is Wonderland.
• Making the Cut, a truly Canadian prime time reality series about hockey players hoping to win actual tryouts for NHL teams, & The Greatest Canadian, a series that asked viewers to nominate the person they thought deserved that title, then featured the top ten in a series that was a mix of debate, documentary, and reality show.
• Almost 300 hours coverage of the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, Greece, plus the Paralympics. CBC’s Olympic coverage is popular with American viewers who like “live event” coverage, and a focus on sporting event over commentary. CBC Television has received four IOC Golden Rings awards for broadcasting excellence, most recently for our equestrian coverage in Beijing.
• From the fifth estate, award winners – Tsunami: Untold Stories and War Without Borders and from The Nature of Things - Passion & Fury: The Emotional Brain.
• The perennially popular Coronation Street.
• Many major news events (these will be addressed in the testimony of Alison Smith).
Some awards won by programs broadcast on CBC Television are listed in Exhibit CDN-1-H.
3 Described video (also known as descriptive audio) is intended to make television accessible to blind or vision-impaired audiences. Through this process relevant action scenes and on-screen text (such as credits) in video programming is described and read by a narrator.
8
I also have a video (DVD) that was produced to launch CBC Television’s “new” season for 2004-2005. This is available as Exhibit CDN- 1-I, with an accompanying log of the programs featured on it. The video provides a glimpse of the programs that were retransmitted in 2004 and 2005. (I would like to alert you to the fact that there is a very brief sequence with vintage nudity and some adult references.)
B. La Télévision de Radio-Canada (French Network)
La Télévision de Radio-Canada is our French Television Network (“Radio-Canada”). In 2004 and 2005 it was composed of eight owned and operated stations and five affiliated stations located across the nation. The principal network station is CBFT, located in Montreal. The network operates entirely in French. Affiliate relationships for French TV are similar in commitment to the English structure. Page two of Exhibit CDN-1-F is a list of the owned and operated and affiliated stations Radio-Canada.
Radio-Canada operates under the same mandate as CBC Television. It broadcasts an equally wide spectrum of programming, some it produces and others it acquires from our many Quebec based claimant members. There is of course the added distinction, and benefit for French speaking Americans, that the programs are created as original French-language productions.
In fact, the retransmission of French-language Canadian programming corresponds with the geographic regions containing higher percentages of French and French-Canadian ancestry Americans. Exhibit CDN-1-J is made up of two maps that were generated on the U.S. Census Bureau web site and are based on information from the 2000 Census. Entitled “Percent of Persons of French (except Basque) Ancestry: 2000” and “Percent of Persons of French Canadian Ancestry: 2000,” they display the concentration of persons by state in the United States who are of French or French Canadian ancestry. These maps demonstrate that high concentrations of these populations are found in the New England states where all the distant retransmission of French-language Canadian signals occurs (this is apparent by comparing the ancestry maps with the retransmission maps in Exhibit CDN-1-A.)
9
In the span of time covered by these proceedings there were numerous special programming events. These included the broadcast of:
• La Grande Ourse, and its sequel L'héritière de Grande Ourse new primetime fantasy melodramas situated in Quebec that created an impressive fan base.
• Tout le monde en parle, an often controversial prime time talk show.
• The second and third seasons of the family comedy L'auberge du chien noir a popular show which is still running in 2008-2009.
• Benjamin, Mona le Vampire, and Galidor - programs for children and youth.
• Adrénaline, Radio-Canada’s award winning weekly program covering professional and amateur sports.
• 223 hours coverage of the Olympic Games in Athens, Greece.
Some awards won by Radio-Canada are listed in Exhibit CDN-1-K. Attached as Exhibit CDN-1-L, you will find Radio-Canada’s French television network broadcast schedules for the 2003/2004, 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 television seasons. Again, the “shaded” blocks indicate where programming is attributable to an American claimant.
6. Distant Carriage of Canadian Signals by U.S. Cable Systems
The next set of exhibits in my testimony is based on data obtained from Cable Data Corporation (CDC). The data on these exhibits are traditionally referred to as “carriage data” because they are based on the carriage of broadcast signals on a distant basis by U.S. cable systems. CDC compiles its database from the information provided by cable systems when they file their semi-annual Statements of Account with the Copyright Office. The CCG and other claimant groups have relied on this data for distribution proceedings for many years. CDC allocates royalties to particular signals using the information provided in the Statements of Accounts.
Our carriage data exhibits focus only on data from Statements of Accounts filed by “Form 3” cable systems which are the largest cable systems
10
in the U.S. Traditionally, in these proceedings, the Copyright Royalty Tribunal and Copyright Arbitration Royalty Panels focused only on information about Form 3 cable systems. Form 3 royalties make up the majority of all royalties paid. According to CDC data, in 2004 and 2005 Form 3 systems paid about 97% of all cable royalties paid by U.S. cable systems. Form 3 systems also are the only systems that report carriage information with enough detail to allow a determination of which types of signals and programming are responsible for generating the royalties. We continue this approach so that current carriage and royalty data can be compared to prior years to demonstrate changed circumstances.
It should be noted that during the years at issue in these proceedings there was a change in the royalty structure. As shown on the website of the Copyright Office, effective with the 2005-2 accounting period, the amount of semi-annual gross receipts necessary to qualify as a Form 3 system rose from $379,600 to $527,600. At the same time, the royalty rates for the base rate fee and the minimum fee were increased.
The data that are presented in these exhibits generally cover 1998 through 2005. As we file this testimony, there is no decision on the 2000-2003 cable royalty distribution proceeding. Consequently, we continue to use the 1998 and 1999 data to establish the foundation from which we show changed circumstances. In some cases, where it is necessary to take a longer term view, we present data going back further. As a general rule, the data for the years 1999 and earlier are based on CDC data presented by the CCG in the 1998 - 1999 Cable Royalty Distribution Proceeding (Docket No. 2001-8 CARP CD 98-99). The data for the years 2000 through 2003 are the same data that was presented in the 2000-2003 Cable Royalty Distribution Proceeding (Docket No. 2008-2 CRB CD 2000-2003) and received from Cable Data Corporation in the fall and winter of 2008-2009. The data for 2004-2005 are from Cable Data Corporation and were obtained in the spring of 2009. Unless otherwise noted, all data in these exhibits is based on the carriage of signals on a distant basis.
A. Royalties Paid for the Carriage of Canadian Distant Signals
CDC data show that cable systems have paid more in royalties for Canadian signals in 2004-2005 than in 1998 and 1999. In fact, the amount of royalties paid for Canadian signals grew at a greater rate than the combined growth rate for all other signal types during the same period. That said, total
11
Canadian distant royalties in 2004 and 2005 are a little less than they were at the high point of 2003.
Exhibit CDN-1-M presents the royalties information for 1998 through 2005. The first four pages of Exhibit CDN-1-M show royalty fees derived from the retransmission of distant signals by U.S. cable systems. There is a table for all royalties and one for each of the three types of fees: base, 3.75% and Syndicated Exclusivity royalties (Syndex). Syndex data is shown in this exhibit simply for the sake of completeness. The CCG does not claim any right to receive a share of Syndex funds.
The tables on the first four pages of this exhibit show the royalties paid each accounting period for Canadian signals and for the combined total for all other types of signals (Educational, Network, Independent, Low Power, and Mexican). They are broken into two sections. At the top are the fees for each accounting period in the last and current proceedings. Included are the averages for the four accounting periods of last proceeding. On the right side, the tables show the percentage change for each accounting period from the average for the last proceeding. Below that are the same data presented on an annual basis (determined by adding the numbers for the two accounting periods in each year). In this and other exhibits, we chose to show relative change of Canadian signal data and relative change of data for all other signal types combined to illustrate that though both generally grew from the time of the 1998-1999 Distribution Proceeding, the growth for Canadian signals has been greater.
These pages are followed by three pages of graphs that show the relative growth since the 1998-1999 Proceeding in distant total, base and 3.75% royalties paid for Canadian signals compared to all other signals types. The percentages are the same as those shown on the tables. The charts illustrate that fees paid for Canadian signals grew at a substantially greater rate than fees paid for all other signals.
Exhibit CDN-1-N is a seven page exhibit that again shows the total distant, base and 3.75% fees, this time broken out by the four primary signal types: Independent, Network, Educational, and Canadian. We do not break out Mexican and Low Power Signals, which combined contribute from 0.14% to 1.5% of total royalties in each accounting period from 1998 to 2005.
The first four pages are tables that show the amount of royalties by signal type and then below, a table showing the relative percentage of the total
12
for each signal type. There is a table for all royalties and one for each of the three types of fees: base, 3.75% and Syndex royalties. The last three pages of this exhibit are graphs that visually display the relative change per signal type for total, base and 3.75% fees.
Exhibit CDN-1-O looks at certain aspects of the minimum fees paid by cable operators. Form 3 cable systems are required to pay a minimum fee (equal to the cost of retransmitting a distant signal as the first full Distant Signal Equivalent (DSE) on the base royalty fee payment scale).4 If the system carries no distant signals or less than one full DSE of distant signals, the system pays the minimum fee. Specifically, the exhibit addresses the amount of minimum fees paid by systems with no distant carriage at all (sometimes called “zero DSE systems”). (This exhibit is not intended to track or document all minimum fees, such as those paid by systems carrying more than zero but less than one DSE of distant signals.)
This exhibit shows that starting in 1998-1 there was a sudden and dramatic increase in the number of systems carrying no distant signals but paying the minimum fees. Comparing the period covered by the 1990-1992 Distribution Proceeding to the 1998-1999 Distribution Proceeding, there was a very pronounced change in the payment of these fees while in contrast there was relatively minor change from the period covered by the 1998-1999 Distribution Proceeding to the current period.
Exhibit CDN-1-P is a one-page summary of the amount of distant royalties paid per year for Canadian signals in 1998 through 2005 for base and 3.75% fees. The tables also show the fees paid for Canadian signals as a percentage of fees paid for all distant signals. This is calculated by dividing royalties paid for Canadian signals by the royalties paid for all distant signals. Table 2, infra., shows that the percentages of base and 3.75% Royalties paid for Canadian signals increased meaningfully since the 1998-1999 Proceeding.
4 Form 1 and Form 2 systems do not pay this minimum fee.
13
Table 2 Canadian Signal Royalties as a Percentage of All Distant Signal Royalties Year Base Royalties 3.75% Royalties 1998 3.31027% 0.25372% 1999 3.64297% 0.62980% 2000 3.84417% 0.58308% 2001 4.06297% 2.07669% 2002 4.80822% 3.36590% 2003 4.73598% 4.17951% 2004 4.15345% 3.50111% 2005 4.36346% 3.22989%
Exhibit CDN-1-Q, entitled “Total Distant Royalties Paid by Form 3 Systems for Canadians Signals,” shows the sum of total distant royalties paid for Canadian distant signals during the years 2004 and 2005, broken out by call sign. The exhibit also shows how those royalties compare as a proportion of all distant royalties paid for Canadian signals. Notably, the first four signals of the 21 on the list account for about 77% of all royalties paid for Canadian signals.5
B. Subscriber Instances and Instances of Carriage
Another way to examine growth in the carriage of Canadian signals is to look at “Subscriber Instances” and “Instances of Carriage.” Subscriber Instances measure the number of cable system subscribers who have access to a distant signal. In contrast, “Instances of Carriage” are the number of times a signal or signal type is carried by a cable system on a distant basis. The number of Instances of Carriage tells nothing about the size of each cable system. Thus, whether a cable system has 2000 subscribers or 2,000,000 subscribers, the system would count as one Instance of Carriage. As cable systems merge and consolidate, the number of Instances of Carriage for signals on those systems may decrease without decreasing the total number of Subscriber Instances.
5 The royalty numbers in this exhibit need one qualification: the sum of these numbers differ from the sum of those reported in Exhibit CDN-1-M by approximately $31,000 because of the way in which Cable Data Corporation reports the royalties in its database. This does not meaningfully affect the relative share of all royalties paid for each Canadian signal during 2004 and 2005.
14
Exhibit CDN-1-R, entitled “Distant Subscriber Instances” presents the number of cable television subscribers receiving signals retransmitted on a distant basis by U.S. cable systems. It is important to note that the number of subscribers presented in this table is cumulative. For example, if a cable system has 10,000 subscribers and carries one Canadian and four independent signals on a distant basis in a given accounting period, CDC allocates 10,000 subscribers to Canadian signals for that period and 40,000 to independent signals. While the result is that the total number of Subscriber Instances reported by CDC exceeds the number of people who actually subscribe, the Subscriber Instances as reported by CDC are an accurate depiction of the number of people who can see a particular distant signal in the U.S. and, in the aggregate, present a reasonable basis for comparing the relative reach of each signal type.
Page 1 of this exhibit shows that the relative reach of Canadian signals, as measured by the number of Subscriber Instances, has grown at a rate that exceeds the growth of other signal types.
Page 2 shows Distant Subscriber Instances broken out by individual signal types.
Exhibit CDN-1-S, entitled “Distant Instances of Carriage“ presents a table showing the number of times Canadian signals and all other signals were retransmitted on a distant basis by U.S. cable systems during each accounting period beginning in 1998. Page 1 compares all Canadian signals to all other signals and page 2 breaks out the information by individual signal types. As can be seen, Canadian signals make up a very small portion of all Instances of Carriage. In fact, Canadian signals consistently make up only about 1.8% of all Instances of Carriage in 2004 and 2005, even though by 2005, those signals were responsible for over four percent of the total royalties.
Exhibit CDN-1-T is a set of charts examining the change in growth of Canadian signal carriage by combining information about Subscriber Instances and Instances of Carriage. These charts show that as the absolute number of Instances of Carriage have fallen for Canadian distant signals (i.e., slightly fewer signals are being retransmitted now than in the 1998-1999 Proceeding) the number of people with access to Canadian signals, as measured by Subscriber Instances, has increased. This increase is not just the result of growth in the overall cable market nor simply the result of merger. The charts show that the
15
growth is greater for Canadian signals than that experienced by other signals types in the same period.
Page 1 of the exhibit compares Instances of Carriage over a 23 year period to the number of Subscriber Instances per Instances of Carriage. The graph on the left, for Canadian signals, shows that while the number of Instances of Carriage decreased over time, the number of Subscriber Instances per Instance of Carriage increased. In contrast, the graph on the right, for all other distant signals, shows that while Instances of Carriage have come down dramatically, the number of Subscriber Instances per Instance of Carriage have changed very modestly in that time, decreasing somewhat in the current period.
Page 2 of the exhibit compares Instances of Carriage to total distant subscriber instances over the same 23 year period. The chart on the left, for “Canadian Signals,” shows that even as the Instances of Carriage have decreased, the total number of Subscriber Instances on cable systems that carry Canadian distant signals has increased. The graph on the right, for all other distant signals shows that historically the change in Subscriber Instances for non-Canadian distant signals closely tracks the number of Instances of Carriage for those distant signals.
Both exhibits show that the reach of Canadian distant signals grew disproportionately to the movement of all other distant signals.
C. Fees per Instance of Carriage and per Subscriber Instance
Another way to look at the changed circumstances is to compare the amount of fees paid per Subscriber Instance and per Instance of Carriage for Canadian signals and for all other signal types. In both cases, growth since 1998-1999 has been greater for Canadian signals than for other signal types.
Exhibit CDN-1-U, entitled “Relative Change in Total Royalties Paid per Subscriber Instance” is made up of tables and a graph showing the relative change in total distant fees per Subscriber Instance since the 1998-1999 Proceeding for Canadian signals and all other signals. The total distant fees paid per Subscriber Instance can be determined by dividing the fees paid for the signal type each year by the number of Subscriber Instances for that year. This chart shows the relative change in those numbers by year since the last proceeding.
16
The chart illustrates that while royalties paid per Subscriber Instance have grown for all signals since the last proceeding, they have grown greater for the Canadian signals than for the other signal types.
Exhibit CDN-1-V, entitled “Relative Change in Total Royalties Paid per Instance of Carriage” is made up of tables and a graph showing the relative change in total fees per Instance of Carriage since the 1998-1999 Proceeding for Canadian signals and all other signals. This chart shows a relative comparison of the change in what cable system operators pay for each Instance of Carriage.
The chart shows that while the royalties paid per Instance of Carriage have grown for all signals since the last proceeding, they have grown greater for the Canadian signals than for all other signal types.
7. Conclusion
The quality, quantity, breadth and depth of Canadian programming enriches the lives of Americans living along the Canadian border. They are entertained and informed with a perspective that is decidedly different from that found on American broadcast and cable television programming. They have access to a schedule of programs that they cannot see elsewhere. In fact, CBC/Radio-Canada programming is specifically mandated to be different from that seen on American stations. To American cable system operators, the carriage of Canadian distant signals is an easy way to bring diversity to the channel lineup, enhancing the cable operators’ ability to attract and retain subscribers.
In 2004 and 2005 Canadian distant signal carriage as measured by royalties and subscribers shows sustained demand for the programming on these signals by cable operators, particularly when compared to the royalties and subscribers attributable to the Canadian distant signals in 1998-1999. In 2004-2005, Form 3 cable operators carried a total of about 980 different distant signals each accounting period (and some cable operators’ chose to carry no distant signals at all). Given the broad array of choices, the decision of selective cable operators to carry Canadian signals on a distant basis is a clear indication that those cable operators value the programming.

JOAN FISHER
2004—2005 Cable Royalty Distribution Proceeding Docket No. 2007-03 CRB CD 2004-2005
INTRODUCTION
Professional Experience
My name is Joan Fisher of Toronto, Ontario. I was called to the Ontario Bar in 1978, have been an entertainment lawyer since 1980, and legal counsel for Decode Entertainment, Inc., since its incorporation in 1997. I handle all legal aspects of development, financing, production and distribution of Decode’s television series and other audio-visual productions.
I began my career as in-house counsel for the feature film company Quadrant Films Limited during the heyday of public offerings of feature film units in Canada when most Canadian films starred either Canadians Donald Sutherland or Christopher Plummer.
I have specialized in entertainment law since that time, working for the Canadian firm Cassels, Brock and its spin-off boutique arm Peter Steinmetz and Associates (specializing in film, television and music). In 1987, I established my own firm providing counsel to several Canadian television producers and/or distributors of pre-school and youth series. I also rendered legal and business affairs services to Alliance Communications Inc. (now AllianceFilms), which encompassed development, production and distribution of television series, movies-of-the week and feature films. I have taught business and entertainment courses at Toronto based colleges (Ryerson and Centennial) and participated as lecturer and panelist at entertainment conferences in Canada and the U.S.
About Decode
Housed in an historic brick building at the fringe of Toronto’s production district, Decode is a small company that has made a big impact creating and producing programming for young audiences in Canada and the rest of the world. Its subsidiary, Decode Enterprises (UK) Limited is an international television distributor, which licenses Decode’s series worldwide as well as a limited number of series produced by independent producers from Canada, the U.S. and the United Kingdom. In 2006, Decode merged with The Halifax Film Company to create DHX Media Ltd., a public company that trades on London’s AIM exchange and on the TSX in Toronto.
Responsibilities
In 1997, I became Decode’s head of Business Affairs. In its first two years, Decode produced the cut and paste animated series Angela Anaconda, the live action series The Zack Files and co-produced an animated series based on the UK classic children’s book Watership Down. Since then I have acted as legal counsel on the additional 21 television series which Decode
1 has either produced or co-produced as well as preparing and negotiating the acquisition agreements for its development slate. My responsibilities for Decode Enterprises (UK) Ltd. include negotiating license agreements with major broadcasters and distributors as well as acquisition agreements for distribution rights to third party series.
What Makes Decode Distinct?
Decode has become a sought-after supplier and co-producer thanks to our reputation of producing distinctive shows that stand out despite an increasingly competitive market. We hire some of the industry's best creative talent and employ innovative production techniques to ensure that our series are outstanding. Our production division develops a limited slate of programming that typically covers all age ranges, from pre-school to teen programming, to ensure that no Decode series will compete with another on the slate. Our projects are often driven by specific market needs and opportunities. We test our productions at early stages with worldwide customers. This has led to a high number of Decode developed projects going into production and becoming successful worldwide. Decode’s series have won and been nominated for numerous awards including Gemini (Canadian television), BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) and Daytime Emmy Awards (US television). A complete list of awards is included in Exhibit CDN-3-A.
Our Productions
Decode specializes in productions for young people – from pre-schoolers to teens. Prominent live action and animated series are Angela Anaconda, Be The Creature, Delilah & Julius, Franny’s Feet, Freaky Stories, King, The Latest Buzz, Naturally Sadie, Radio Free Roscoe, Rainbow Fish, Save-Ums!, Urban Vermin, The Zack Files and other series of interstitials or short programming. Twelve of our full-length television series were international co- productions with the U.K., Spain, Singapore, Australia and Hong Kong and co-ventures with the U.S.
Co-Productions include Planet Sketch, Chop Socky Chooks, Bromwell High, Watership Down, “Blobheads, Clang Invasion, The Hoobs. Decode’s co-ventures are Super Why with Out of the Blue Studios LLC and Undergrads with MTV Networks. Exhibit CDN-3-B provides short descriptions of several Decode Productions, including the name of any co-producer.
International Success
As indicated previously, Decode’s distribution arm, Decode Enterprises (UK) Limited, distributes all of Decode’s television and interactive content as well as third-party television series. It has concluded almost 1500 television and home entertainment license agreements with more than 300 clients worldwide. In addition to the primary broadcasters, most of Decode’s shows are distributed on terrestrial, pay, pay/cable and satellite throughout the world including the U.K., France, Germany, Italy, Eastern Europe, Australia, Latin America, the Middle East, South America and Asia. Exhibit CDN-3-A also notes major broadcasters (domestic and international) that the described productions have been licensed to.
2 Canadian Broadcasts 2004-2005
During the period of 2004 to 2005, Angela Anaconda, Be The Creature, The Blobheads, Save ‘Ums (Les Sauvetout!) and Les Hoobs (The Hoobs) and Le Roi C’est Moi (King) were all broadcast on free over-the-air signals specifically the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation or its French counterpart, Radio-Canada. These productions are described in promotional pages attached in Exhibit CDN-3-C and Exhibit CDN-3-B. In addition, I have prepared a short promotional video containing excerpts from these productions. It is attached to my testimony as Exhibit CDN-3-D.
Conclusion
As is the case with many Canadian production companies, Decode generally does not have the budget of a television series fully financed before it commences production. Licenses from Canadian broadcasters cover from approximately 5% to 30% of the budget. The balance of the financing usually consists of government subsidies (called tax credits), grants from industry funds, equity financing, foreign pre-sales, and most often a distribution advance from Decode Enterprises (UK) Limited of approximately 10% to 30% of the budget against anticipated sales interim financed by a Canadian bank. Decode is a small company in a busy production community. We are about a 100 people engaged in a creative industry making a product enjoyed by children and adults around the world. To stay in business Decode needs to exploit revenue from its intellectual property from all sources to repay the distribution advances and allow further investment in television properties. In addition, Decode has a very broad base of moderately budgeted unique children’s and youth programming but does not produce blockbuster prime time programming. For this reason as well, it is important to derive revenue from every source available whether it be major broadcasters, modest licenses in small territories or royalties payable on account of the exploitation of its catalogue.
